Hi all, some people in Papua Newguinea seem to have a problem with a detention centre there: http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/media-barred-from-manus-isla... National Capital District Governor Powes Parkop, who is a senior member of the coalition government, has threatened to take legal action to stop the centre being built. ‘‘There’s no law in PNG that allows people to be detained without being charged,’’ he told Radio Australia’s Asia Pacific. ‘‘That is not legal here [in PNG] because it’s against our constitution, which safeguards and protects our people, if they’re taken in by police, or other authorities, they’re supposed to be charged as soon as possible for a particular offence.’’ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW, there are public viewings for the "Go Back To where You Come From" series at SBS this week. http://www.sbs.com.au/goback/events/state/vic/ Regards Peter
